Another American Election when what is plainly required is another American Revolution.


You have that exactly right. The conditions in American society right now are pretty close to exactly what was happening in the lead up to the French Revolution. The 'ruling class' steals all the wealth, and believes they have different laws that apply, for example.

Funny how all the folks calling for a revolution ain't picking up rifles.

I know; I keep wondering when it will come to that on a wider scale. So far, it's mostly just individuals and weird groups of ranchers or survivalists. But some day, the tipping point will be reached.
With any luck, it'll be just like the French Revolution. Lead to dictatorship and world war.
